Fire insurance agents all over the state have just received the new schedule of minumum rates on dwell- ing property by the New England In- surance exchange which een promulgated to go into effect on the first of July. The new minimum rates have been arranged to correct the wide dis- crepancies which have existed in what was charged for insurance upon sim- ilarly situated dwelling house prop- erty in different parts of the state and all the cities have been classified into six classes in which the rates are es- tablished according to the state wide survey that has been made of all the conditions entering into fire protec- tion, such as fire department equip- ment, reservoir supply, size and num- ber of water mains, etc. There are no Connecticut cities which come under class A, which is the first classification, and_there are only six cities, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Meriden, New Britain and New Haven, which are in class B. Norwich is in class C with Danbury, East Hartford, Greenwich, Higland Lake, Middletown, Naugatuck, New London, Norwalk, Rockville, South Manchester, Winsted, West Haven, Torrington, Wallingford, Thompson- ville, Stonington and Westville. In every classification all dwellings are first rated as to whether they have combustible or non-combustible roofs. Hitherto there has been no such di- vision of dwelling house property and the general effect of thegnew rate in Norwich, it is stated, wWill be to give the 'best protected dwelling property the benefit of its less haz- ardous character, resulting in a reduc- tlon of rate for brick dwellings with non-combustible roofs. At the same Revised All Over the State—Six Classifications for All Cities and Towns—Norwich in Class C—All Dwellings First Classified as to Character of Roofs—Combustible or Non-Combustible Roofs—Then as to Character of Oc- — time, there is a slight advance over present rates on some classes of dwell- house property with combustibule roofs. The new rates on private barns are a large reduction from the old rate. All dwelling house property is fur- ther subdivided into six classes ac- cording to the number of apartments in it. The first class is dwellings with not more than two apartments; then follow: apartment houses and dwell- ings in rows, without division walls, With three apartments; with four apartments; with 5 to 8 apartments, inclusive; with $ to 12 apartments, i clusive; with 13 to 16 apartments, in- clusive. On a three year policy the rate on contents is 10 cents more per hun- dred than the rate on the building, if a brick building, and 5 cents more per hundred than on the building if a frame building. On the ordinary dwelling house, where the rate is now 50 cents per hundred on building and 52 cents per hundred on contents for a three year policy, the new minimum rate will make it 37 cents per hundred on brick building with non-combustible roof, 47 cents on contents; 50 cents per hundred on frame building with non- combustible roof, 55 cents on contents. If the dwelling is in the combustible roof classification, the rate per hun- dred for 3 years will be 42 cents, brick building 52 cents on contents: and 55 cents on frame building, 60 cents on contents. Dwelling house property in Bean Hill, Norwich Town, Occum, Taftvile, and Yantic is not in the Class C rat- ing, but goes into the class E rating, which {s designated as sub standard protection.

After encountering a number of bad storms and mnarrowly escaping ship- wreck in Behring sea, ex-Senator Fred A. Johnson of Montville has just re- turned from a hunting trip to Alaska, having traveled in all 11,000 miles. Mr. Johnson was gone three months, dur- ing which time he visited the Behring sea eide of the wild Alaskan peninsula west of Unimak Island. For one thou- sand miles the land stretches out, a desolate waste of volcanic rock and shale. There is not a tree of any de- scription to be seen, the only vegeta- tion that thrives at all being alder and willow. Mr. Johnson arrived at the hunting grounds about May 1 and although a little early for successful shooting yet he brought down, among other game, a large bear, 11 feet long from tip to tip, 7 feet in girth, and weighing about 1,600 pounds. The rear paw measured 14 inches and between ear tips the bear measured 18 inches. Mr. Johnson says his trip has convinced him that stories about bears attacking people, in that country at least, are ridiculous, for it was only with great difficulty that Mr. Johnson was able to approach the bears. The greater part of the time he was only able to see their hind quarters disappearing in the dis- tance. While on the trip, Mr. Johnson saw millions of geese and ducks and a number or sea lions. He said there was hardly a day that he did not see anyweher from one hundred to several hundred caribou, but of course he was unable to bag ¢#y of them, as they are at present protected by law. The hunting grounds where Mr. Johnson got his big bear are located about 30 miles from the smoking Paz- iof volcano and about 40 miles from Unimak Island, which is 70 miles long. As to the weather, Mr. Johnson found it quite mild, this being due to the nearness of the Japanese current. Mr. Johnson made the trip accom- panied only by a guide and a cook. Mr. Johnson has always been promi- nent in athletics and during his college course at Yale captained the winning crew. GOVERNOR CONGRATULATES COAST ARTILLERY CO.

John D. Hollingsworth of No. 432 Boswell avenue, engineer for The Bulletin company, has received word that his brother, Henry Hollingsworth, a private in the English army, was killed in action on May 21. Henry Hollingsworth was employed at the Richmond Radiator company here about four years ago. The Ashton-under-Lyne Reporter of June 5 contains the following an- nouncement of the death of Priva! Hollingsworth: The most sorrowful tragedy of this terrible war is the severance of hus- bands from wives and fathers from children, never to meet again in this world. The sympathy of all must go to the widows and the fatherless. A particularly pathetic case is that of Mrs. Hollingsworth, of 13 Turner Lane, Ashton, who has received official in- formation that her husband, Private Henry Hollingsworth, of the Special Reserve of Lancashire Fusileers, has been killed in action. Private Hol- lingsworth was 31 years of age, and formerly was employed at the Na- tional Gas Engine Co.'s works as a brass finisher, but latterly. he had been working at Old Trafford. He wos formerly in the army., but was bought out. He joined the Lanca- shire Fusileers on August 27th, and ‘went out to the front in May, and he was killed on May 21st. He was a member of St. John's Sunday School at Hurst. He leaves a widow and two children. On his departure for France he wrote a touching message to his wife and children. He wrote: “1 am going out with a good heart, hoping that we shall not be long be- fore we are united again. Remember that it is every man’s duty now, and no one can ever say to you or the children that your Harry did not do his. I know you will upset yourself, but try for my sake to be brave. You must not write to me till vou get another letter from me. And I will Write every week, or oftener if possi- ble. I cannot forget the happy and comfortable home we have worked for and share together. I am ix the best of health, and I hope you and the children are the same. God bless you all. I know that your prayers will follow me where ere I go and I will do my duty as bravely as possible. Keep a good heart. I shali think of you and the children everv day. I have not much heart to write tonight. Kiss the children for their dadda. Tell them I will soon be back with God's help, for the war will not last long. So good night and may God bless and pro- tect you all while I am gone.” “Dear children—I am leaving you for a while, and I want you to be very good to your mamma. I think that you will. I will not be gone long. 1 hope, and look after Hilda, Joe, for I know that you will do all you can for mother, so be good children. So good night, Joe and Hilda. Kiss you ma- ma for your dad. and may God guard and keep you from harm. So good night and God bless you—From your ever loving Father. e e e SRR HEMPSTEAD FARM OWNERS WILL CHARGE FEE To Automobils Owners Who Come to See Races. In former years when the Yale- Harvard race on the Thames river Ezra J. Hempstead and son who have a farm in Waterford, near the finish line, have been annoyed by crowds who flocked there to see the finish of of the race. The rear of the Hemp- stead farm is down by Browning beach and a splendid view of the crews as they sweep by to the end is pos- sible from there. In bygone vears the Messers Hemp- stead have suffered considerable dam- age to their crops as scores of people have tramped through the fields to get to the shore. This year they are determined that those who want to see the race there must pay a fee, They are perfectly willing that all New London people should go there to witness the race, but ses no good reason why people who come from New York, Boston, New Haven and other cities by machine should drive their heavy touring cars through the Hempstead farm, raising havoc with it, and this year no machines will pass through the gates without the owners first coming across.
